If it's any help to anyone, I just discovered that the new version of vmware
has an option to _not_ grab the keyboard/mouse when the mouse enters the
window, which is quite handy. This fixes the problem of click-3ddesk -> move
mouse backo over vmware -> lose keyboard input... So I'm happy now. (As long
as I don't click on vmware while it's still grabbing the screen)

That's good to know. Thanks. :)

Fantastic program by the way. This should definately be on the List Of
Important Things for anyone who advocates linux to non-linux users... All my
friends want to try it now!
